I just wanted to know the foundation would be solid
I longed to feel steady on my feet in this
ever changing world - where the ground constantly
shifts and there's no certainty of tomorrow.
I would take that leap of faith, to live among
the clouds, rather than constantly staring to the
stars in hopes of my dreams coming from above,
but I can only hold my head up high and keep spirits.
Dismiss everything that holds you down, the weight
of the world becomes all too apparent when we
try to take on the full burden of our doubts
with the hope of having everything that makes us happy.
Oh but what really makes us happy in a world where
everything is about that very next step, and
the collection of things instead of experiences and
relationships along the way, I'm still just waiting now.
I'm still just waiting for my heart to tell the truth,
for some awakening within to guide me to the place
where the aching of my soul is no longer consuming
and I'll know that fear is just a thing of the past.
Well I'll be waiting for that moment eagerly and
I know that I can't do it alone, and that none of us
can do this alone - oh the world is just far too large,
and so we'll hold hands and conquer this plane together.

I have no words for how much this poem touched me. The first stanza even more so than all the rest because it is 'exactly' how I feel in the midst of all the chaos I deal with on a day to day basis where nothing is sure and there is nothing! I want more than to feel steady, sure.
